Ahhhh…this is the season, the time of year when summer break is coming to a close and the smell of freshly sharpened pencils fills the air as students begin to prepare to return to school. Things are no different for the Destineers as they prepare to return to Greenbrier Academy. The professors are planning their lessons which they will, of course, be posting in the Cybrarie, and on the Destineers blog. Things have been pretty quiet over on that blog – the gang has been busy having adventures, following quests and keeping the Netherscape safe from the tyranny of Deimos and the Clan of Ares sen Feear, but a new school year is coming.

I hope you will join us as we learn more about the fantasy realms with classes like Dragon Training and Mythical Beings. The schedule planned now is for classes to post Tuesdays and Thursdays to both the blog and the Cybrarie . Right now, the professors are busy supplying their classrooms and giving the blog a facelift to have a more magical feel, the link is live now if you want a sneak peek. Hope we’ll be seeing you there!

In the meantime, how about a little game to spice things up? Christy Condoleo is launching her new book tomorrow (Friday, August 7) with a scavenger hunt! Really - how cool is that? You visit her site which will lead you to another author's site to hunt for an answer to answer a question. I believe there are seven sites involved. You get to visit some great author sites, learn a little about them (and I hear the Destineers will be on one of the stops!), and have some fun. Submit your answers to Christie for a chance to win her new book! Sounds like a lot of fun - I know I'll be making the tour!

About Me

My book, The Destineers Journal of Fantasy Nations, is an encyclopedic field guide of the various creatures in the fantasy world. There are, of course, the well known fairies, elves, and dragons, and some of the lesser recognized nations, like the Barbegazi, the Cloudwalkers, and, of course, the Butterfrogs.
My picture book, If Wishes Were Fishes, is now available on my sites, through the publisher 4RV Publishing, on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, 4 Love of Books & Art, and bookstores everywhere!

The Destineers Journal of Fantasy Nations...From Alchemist to Banshee, Bodach to dragon, and Yeti to Zombie, the authors give us a glimpse, sometimes with humor, sometimes with chills, of the inhabitants of the Nations of Fantasy. I recommend this guide for writers, readers, and everyone who loves fantasy novels and movies. Even those who aren't really into magical worlds will enjoy reading about the Dullahans, Mooncalves, and Thunderbirds.~Beverly Stowe McClure, Author (Amazon.com Review)
